Michael Osborne

Handshakez

Michael is Co-Founder and serves as CRO of MyDocket. He grew up through the fires of engineering school at Carnegie Mellon, was tempered through amazing business experience at Trilogy and Coremetrics, then led Bazaarvoice (NASDAQ: BV) from under $1 million in revenue to its IPO in Feburary of 2012. From leading Client Services at Coremetrics to selling at Bazaarvoice, Michael “gets” the customer. Acquire, Delight, and Retain are words that mean everything to him. Michael's passion for customers is only rivaled by his love of Journey and his incredibly supportive family. If you want a steak grilled perfectly (and I mean perfectly, no matter what your partner/parent/ roommate/dog says), just ask him for a tour of the Big Green Egg. Never caught with last year's model of anything with a battery, he's a geek in sheep's clothing.

myDocket

Sales and marketing collateral that actually sells

Salespeople email a ton of stuff to customers. But it's a guessing game as to whether - or even if - the stuff is read. Sales teams use myDocket to understand customers' interest and intent by learning when they view with their collateral & who is most engaged in their deals. myDocket replaces cumbersome email attachments with beautiful, personalized content galleries for each opportunity and then sends real-time alerts whenever that content is accessed.
